AUGUST 4
SING OH BARREN EPILOGUE
We’re in a new month but God showed me this verse regarding barrenness.
2 Peter 1:5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
NEW THEME:
I AM CHURCH
The IAMCHURCH Vision God Gave Me:
* should have been here to hear the story *
I AM
Exodus 3:14 14 And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.
אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה
Its context is the encounter of the burning bush (Exodus 3:14): Moses asks what he is to say to the Israelites when they ask what God has sent him to them, and Yahweh replies, "I am who I am", adding, "Say this to the people of Israel, 'I am has sent me to you.'"[2] ’Ehyeh is the first person form of hayah, "to be", and owing to the peculiarities of Hebrew grammar means "I am", "I was", and "I will be”.
THE EVERLASTING GOD.
CHECK THE FACTS
Wiki LOL
There is almost no agreement on the origins of Yahweh.[13] His name is not attested other than among the Israelites, and seems not to have any plausible etymology. Ehyeh ašer ehyeh ("I Am that I Am"), the explanation presented in Exodus 3:14, appears to be a late theological gloss invented to explain Yahweh's name at a time when the original meaning had been forgotten.
What they haven’t considered:
Perhaps there’s no evidence of his mad man origin because he wasn’t man made.
A new line of thought is that God didn’t want to tell Moses who He is. It’s the new, exciting theology coming out of academia. It’s seriously flawed logic. I’m sure you’ve heard me say this many times, but SIMPLY READ THE PRECEDING AND PROCEEDING VERSES BEFORE YOU WRITE A PHD LEVEL THESIS ON ONE VERSE
Exodus 3:6 Moreover he said: I Am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Issac, the God of Jacob.
GOD JUST TOLD MOSES EXACTLY WHO HE IS.
WHAT IS TIME? HOW DOES IT WORK?
Time.
the 4th dimension?
Completely separate from space?
Time isn’t constant?
BEING CHURCH:
BEING TRANSFORMED BY BEING CHURCH
2 Corinthians 3:18 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:51 We Will All Be Changed
Romans 12:1-2 12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your [b]reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
THE CHURCH HAS THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM
THE CHURCH BINDS AND LOOSES
Matthew 16:19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth [h]will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
Being Church looks like binding and loosing. How much are we binding? How much are we loosing?
THE CHURCH USES THE GIFTS:
1 Corinthians 12:8–10
• Word of wisdom
• Word of knowledge
• Faith
• Gifts of healings
• Miracles
• Prophecy
• Discernment of spirits
• Tongues
• Interpretation of tongues
THE CHURCH KNOWS JESUS:
Matthew 25:31-46 31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’ 41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ 44 “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
SATAN IS THE ACCUSER OF THE CHURCH, DON’T TAKE HIS JOB. HE DOESN’T NEED YOUR HELP.
BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS, I AM
John 8:48-59
Before Abraham Was, I AM
48 Then the Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?” 49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. 50 And I do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks and judges. 51 Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.” 52 Then the Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.’ 53 Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Who do You make Yourself out to be?” 54 Jesus answered, “If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is [a]your God. 55 Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, ‘I do not know Him,’ I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” 57 Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?” 58 Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” 59 Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going[b] through the midst of them, and so passed by.
- Jesus claims to be God for SURE
- the way Jesus made that claim is in and of itself EPIC
- how does the time frame work?
- So if I AM is YAHWEH, Is YAHWEH the father or Jesus?
I would suggest that Yahweh is the true God, but expressed Jewishly as one, instead of as His true nature of the Trinity: See Eloheim (plural!) in Genesis 1:1
Jesus, the everlasting father?!.
Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
JESUS HAS AUTHORITY, NOT AS THE SCRIBES.
Matthew 7:28–29 - 28 And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching, 29 for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
Why? BECAUSE WHEN HE SAYS IT, IT HAPPENS!!
BID.
Commit to BEING CHURCH. Commit to saying I AM CHURCH.
